New Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta Screens

Well, alrighty then! The RPG that just keeps on giving (and getting better with each expansion) rolls onward (and upward) into outer space. Here are a few spectacular new screens from the Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta expansion DLC, set to land on both the Xbox 360 (via Xbox Live) and PC (via Windows Live) on Monday, August 3rd for 800 Microsoft Points. Playstation 3 owners, you know the drill - keep those home fires burning, it's coming your way as well at some point down the road.

As for what's in the expansion folks, Wel now... I've recently scavenged together a Cut-n-Paste mini-gun from Wasteland scrap and it kinda works like this (BANG!):

Mothership Zeta Description:

Defy hostile alien abductors and fight your way off of the massive Mothership Zeta, orbiting Earth miles above the Capital Wasteland. Mothership Zeta takes Fallout 3 in an entirely new direction – outer space. Meet new characters and join with them in a desperate bid to escape the Aliens’ clutches. To do so, you’ll wield powerful new weapons, like the Alien Atomizer, Alien Disintegrator, and Drone Cannon, and deck yourself out in brand new outfits, like the Gemini-Era Spacesuit and even Samurai Armor.

Story:

A strange Alien signal is being broadcast throughout the Capital Wasteland, originating from a crashed UFO. Is it a distress call, or something far more sinister? That question is answered when you find yourself beamed aboard an enormous Alien spacecraft, with only one alternative – to fight your way to the bridge of the ship and secure your escape.

Key Features:

Find and exploit new and destructive alien technology, like the Alien Atomizer and Drone Cannon.

Explore the vast Mothership and learn the secrets of the Aliens’ master plan.

Thwart the Aliens’ attempt to stop your escape, and take over the Alien ship before it wreaks havoc on the unsuspecting Earth below.

Fight against the Alien Invaders, their robot drones, and turn their own horrible experiments against them.

Ally yourself with an unexpected array of characters, both from the Capital Wasteland and from Earth ’s past.

I don't know how the heck they do it, but whatever is in the water over at Bethsoft must be keeping the guys and gals behind Fallout 3 awake at all hours cranking out awesome new content on a regular basis. Hmmm... given the rate that all this DLC is materializing, I wonder if there's anything Holiday-themed planned for us Wasteland dwellers?
